The New and Old Method.

Some one has taken the trouble to
find how far . farmer has to walk to
put in and attend forty acres of corn.
It is figured out - follows: To pillow
the ground with sixteen inch plow,
he travels $50 miles, to harrow the
ground thoroughly before planting, he
will have to walk so miles; to cultivate
it afterwards he will have to walk 300
miles, making . grand total of 700,
besides the gathering.
But the enterprising farmer of to-day
with his sulky pillow and other improved
farming implements, manages to ride a
large, if not the larger portion of these
figured miles. If you don't believe it
ask one of the agents engaged in SELL
ing agricultural machinery and imple-
ments.

The word t'boodle'' is having a ire
mendious run all over the continent,
and is taking on various and singular
meanings. In the great cities it is used
when referring to the plumber which
political corruptionists make off with.
In the far west it means ordinary mon
ey. The Indians on a Utah reservation
call their annuities "Uncle Sans
DOODLE" and a weekly paper in Mon
tana facetiously refers to a collection
in church as resulting in "a goodly
supply of DOODLE" These things are
enough to make the perspiration start.

PROTECTING ANIMALS
FROM FLIES.

At this season of the year the annoy
ance to animals caused by flies and mos
quitoes often amounts to positive agony,
and at all times, in what is called good
corn weather, it is sufficient to keep the
stock eating enough to keep them in
| good condition. The animals will stand
in the water or pass the greater part of
the day in the shade, rather than expose
themselves to the sunshine, going out to
eat when driven by hunger, They quick
ly lose flesh, the flow of milk shrinks,
and loss is incurred that cannot easily
be made good again. At all times good
feed of grain is beneficial to stock, but it
is especially so when flies are very annoy
ing, since it will do much to prevent
shrinkage of flesh and milk. Horses and
mich cows may be protected, in q great
measure at least, by wiping them all over
with a sponge dipped in soap suds in
which little carbolic acid has been
mixed. Bulls confined in stables often
suffer enough from the attacks of flies to
drive them half mad. and there is no
doubt that the continued fretting caused
in this way develops savage disposition.
The most satisfactory results have fol-
lowed from sponging with soap suds and
carbolic acid mixed a Jersey bull confined
in a stall.-Chicago Tribune.
By the operation of the new law,
known as the Indian Severalty act, mil
lions of acres set apart for the use of
Indian tribes will evidently be released
for the use of white settlers. Forum
ately the law contains provisions, which,
if enforced, will give this land to actual
settlers and keep in out OF the hands of
spectators and thieves. The law says
that no patent for a quarter section
shall issue, except to person who has
taken it for homestead, and only after
the land shall have been occupied as
homestead for five years. This is a
very important restriction. The prin-
ciple which it embodies would now gov
ern the distribution of all public lands
if the senate had not by devious meth
DDS prevented the enactment of the
house bill repeating the preemption,
timber culture and desert land laws.

SAVED BY A SONG.
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of thy wing

| A party OF Northern tourists formed
part of large company gathered or
the deck of an excursion steamer that
was moving slowly down the historic
Potomac one beautiful evening in the
summer of 1881. A gentleman who
has since gained National reputation
as on evangelist of song had been de-
lighting the party with his happy rem.
dering of many familiar hymns, the
last being the sweet petition so dear to
every Christian heart, "Jesus lover of
my SOUL
The singer gave the first two verses
with much feeling, and a peculiar en-
phasis upon the concluding lines that
thrilled every heart. A hush had fall
len upon the listeners that was not
broken for some seconds after the mu-
steal notes had died away. Then a
gentleman made bis way from the out
skirts of the crowd to the singer and
accosted him with Beg your pardon,
stranger, but were you actively engaged
in the late war.

ously answered, II fought under Gen

years ago this very month. 1t was
much such night as this. IF l am

Then out upon the night air rung the
words,

was no attack made on your camp that
night | felt sure when | heard you
this evening that you were the man

The singer grasped the hand of the
Southerner and said with much emotion,
II remember the night very well and
distinctly the feeling of depression and
loneless with which | went forth to do
my duty. [ knew my post was one Of
great danger, and [ was more detected
than [ remember to have been at any
other tina during the service. I paced
my lonely beat, thinking of home and
all that life holds dear Then the
thought of God care for all that he
has created came to me with peculiar
force. Ii He so cared for the sparrow,
how much more for man created In his
own image; and | sang the prayer of my
heart and ceased to feel alone. How
the prayer was answered | never knew
until this evening My Heavenly
Father thought best to keep the knowl-
edge from me for eighteen years. How
much of His goodness to us we shall
be ignorant until revealed by the light
of eternity! Jesus, lover of my soul,

be inexpressibly dear
The incident related in the above
sketch is true one, and was related
to the writer by a lady who was one of
the party on the steamer.-London

Cold Coffee Is a Good I hing

The boys of the National Guard,
who have spent their week in camp
at Peekskil, declare that cold cof
fee is the most sustaing and the SAT-
est of drinks. In speaking of the
matter with the Surgeon of one of
the regiments recently, reporter
for the Mail and Express was told
that for the tourist and sportsman
cold coffee was quite as good as for
the marching soldier. You see,"
said the Surgeon, 'in places whore
food is scarce or bad, coffee prevents
typbus fever by counteracting rap
id waste of the tissues. There IS no
more dangerous internal waste than
that caused by fatigue, inasmuch as
the vitality is too low to throw 1t
off, and thus all the living stuff in
the body is poisoned by what is
dead. have seen persons suffer-
ing from symptoms of violent pois-
onng before now, simply because
they had walked more than their
strength would bear. In point of
fact they were poisoned, but mere
ly because they could not get rid OF
dead tissues. If tourists, la
boringmen, soldiers, pedestrians,
excursionists, and all persons out on
holiday .trips would fill up their
fiasks with cold coffee instead of
drinking of water, they would nev-
er be troubled by a rapid using up
of their bodies"
